We understand it can be a bit confusing buying beef in bulk for the first time, but don't worry you are not alone. First you might ask why do we do this instead of charging by the lb of end beef? Because we sell portions of an animal you are getting a percentage of all the cuts which makes it easy to project. To estimate final end product beef, we have a really accurate way to get the final weights. Its simple math, once the carcass is deconstructed you take the carcass weight times .55 and that is how much beef you should receive.
